This purpose of this book is to fill the gap in administrative research concerning the important role of assistant principals in secondary schools in the United States. Based on discussions with 90 first year assistant principals, the authors illustrate the perceptions and emotions of new administrators during their transition from teacher to administrator, and detail how they coped with the adjustments to this faster-paced professional world.
